O'Neill, of Caherciveen, buried to within about a foot of its top in a low mound of sand covered with earth and stones...Mr. O'Neill suggested to me that some abrasions on the edge seemed to suggest that the stone had been dragged to its present position with a rope -- possibly from the ancient cemetery of Killogrone nearby'.

O'Sullivan/1996, 240: `When first noted, only its upper .45m protruded from the peat-cover of the slope; the stone was subsequently dug out (The Kerryman, 20/5/1939)...it now stands'.
